#420 Issue closed: Recover of xfs filesystems fails in 1.15¶

we found a bug in ReaR (1.15) when recovering xfs filesystems. The recovery fails if rear tries to recover a partition with a valid xfs filesystem. The mkfs command for xfs does not overwrite existing partitions unless the -f option is given.

Problem is in rear/layout/prepare/GNU/Linux/13_inlcude_filesystem_code.sh

        xfs)
cat >> $LAYOUT_CODE <<EOF
LogPrint "Creating $fstype-filesystem $mp on $device"
mkfs -t $fstype $device
EOF

The mkfs line for xfs must read

mkfs -t $fstype -f $device

Hi,

in rear 1.16 should be a fix for that case. Have a look on that pull request:

That is correct and rear-1.16.1 has also been released in the meantime. Especially for Novel to re-pack it in their HA packages
